Chapter 559: Chapter 559 Conflict Arises

Zhou Dacheng hesitated for a moment, glanced at the crowd, and, although he himself wanted to see Zhang Ningcheng rise to power, it seemed impossible now. Of course, the candidates nominated by Huang Song and Deng Guohai had likewise failed to secure positions, which should be considered a good thing.

Regarding the support from three individuals for Gui Chunping as the Secretary-General, the situation was not yet clear, but as long as he wasn’t one of Huang Song’s people, it was fine.

"Alright then, since Comrade Gui Chunping’s support exceeds that of the others by one, let him serve as the Secretary-General. This matter still needs to be reported to the provincial level."

Huang Yan laughed and said, "It seems everyone favors Comrade Gui Chunping."

For some reason, after being caught in Deng Guohai’s grasp, Huang Yan quickly adapted. In her view, it was nothing more than leaning towards Deng Guohai, hardly a significant matter.

"Okay, let’s leave it at that for today. The discussions about a few other individuals can wait until next time, giving everyone more time to think."

With that said, Zhou Dacheng stood up and left.

Huang Song smiled and spoke, "After everyone departs, do give serious thought to it. Next time, we must place capable comrades in key positions."

Deng Guohai also showed a rather dejected look as he got up and left.

Ji Yang watched everyone leave one by one; today was like watching a play.

From the fluctuations in Deng Guohai’s mood, Ji Yang could clearly sense Deng Guohai’s joy, which meant that Deng Guohai truly intended to elevate Gui Chunping.

The situation with Gui Chunping would need to be further investigated.

Of course, it was also clear to Ji Yang that, after today’s meeting, the relationships amongst their four classmates had disintegrated. Zhou Dacheng and Huang Song were certainly not going to come together now.

What they did not know was that Deng Guohai was still hidden in the shadows!

Back in the office, Ji Yang pondered over the whole process once more, Huang Yan had clearly sided with Deng Guohai.

That Fang Shijun, from what he understood, hadn’t actually aligned with Deng Guohai yet, which suggested that Fang Shijun also had opinions about Zhou Dacheng.

Never mind that for now, he had no intention of vying for power himself; he would let them fight it out for a while longer.

As for Lu Mingping, it was unclear what he was thinking, as he hadn’t taken sides today.

Ji Yang knew some details about Lu Mingping. Having emerged from discipline inspection, he seemed somewhat out of place and maintained a certain distance from all parties. It was understandable that such a person had his own pursuits and did not wish to be tarred with the same brush as the rest.

It appeared that Deng Guohai did not achieve victory today, but if Gui Chunping was also Deng Guohai’s man, then Deng Guohai had unobtrusively infiltrated his influence into the municipal committee.

Ji Yang surmised that Deng Guohai would likely use the same tactics to quietly place his people in various departments.

Deng Guohai gave everyone the impression that he wasn’t fiercely contesting for power, when in reality, he had carried out plenty of actions in the shadows.

He must add something to the mix; otherwise, those people were no match for Deng Guohai!

Having understood these affairs, Ji Yang had a plan: he must shift everyone’s attention to Deng Guohai. Only this way could he force Deng Guohai into rapid exposure.

After work, as Ji Yang headed to his own room, he had only been halfway there when he spotted a very beautiful woman walking towards Deng Guohai’s home.
